Hold for the headache. Great tech though.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
That’s the main question. And I suspect, the reason why Apple has not pitched that sort of desk setup. I doubt this is comfortable enough to provide a full day, every day usage.
Why I’m asking, feels a bit like the old iPad / desktop shorthand on consumption vs creation. I liked one review that compared Vision Pro to a highend TV, but not convinced it’s worth more than that.
90% of my usage has been watching media. It won’t pair with laptops (haven’t had time to debug) and the eye-based UI isn’t great, and is outright awful when navigating iPad apps that don’t have working highlights. Scroll and tap gestures are amazingly smooth and accurate; it’s frustrating that there aren’t more ways to use that - I need to dig around in accessibility, I suspect…

#33The passthrough looks and works better than expected, but also a bit fuzzier than expected. I do appreciate how crisp the "desktop" windows look though.
The pass through is indeed very fuzzy.
All the reviews where people state “it’s like looking through clear safety goggles”, etc. are bogus. It’s like looking through a cell phone camera from about 10 years ago. Especially in low light (e.g. a home office.)
The actual AR content, though, is amazingly sharp.

#34Quick question: is it comfortable?
I watched a few reviews. Some reviewers say it's not too heavy even after extended periods of time, others say it already gets uncomfortable on the face after 45 minutes with the default head strap. Some say the double head strap is much better, others say it doesn't make a big difference over the normal one.
The big question is how it fits with your face and how sensitive you are to blur. The sweet spot requires precise positioning on your face - which means a tighter pull on the strap to hold it, and more discomfort if it was already uncomfortable.

This is a screen recording from the device, which is not necessarily the same thing as what you as a user see when wearing the headset. For example there’s no vignette or distortion towards the edges what so ever in the video.

I don’t notice the weight, and I’ve used mine for at least 4 hours a day since Friday.
For me it was literally painful with the solo loop after less than 20 minutes, whereas with then dual loop it’s absolutely fine.
There are lot of different shaped heads out there.

Side by side with a Meta Quest 3, it’s honestly a full generation ahead, so I can see why reviewers are impressed. (I don’t have a quest pro on hand to compare with right now.)
You’re absolutely correct that low light environments suck.
My guess is that it’s a latency/sensor trade off leading to the constant noise.

#38Turning your head ~90 degrees to the left just to be able to see Slack(or any other windows) is for me an productivity nerf, not a boost. What's wrong with Alt/Option - Tab instead? In my life I experimented with 3 monitors, 2 monitors, one monitor, ultra widescreens, square aspect ratio displays, and a mix of several of those, etc. and I find the best productivity setup is when I have everything centered in my narro…
> Turning your head ~90 degrees to the left just to see Slack(or any other windows) is for me an productivity nerf, not a boost. I wouldn't put slack there because I look at it all day long, but I could see leaving open something like Datadog that I look at infrequently, but it'd be nice if it was just _there_ and I didn't have to go tab-hunting to find it
I "install" high usage chrome tabs as apps so I can pin them to my taskbar and bring them up with a shortcut, e.g. Win+9. I actually do this more more than programs, so I use AutoHotKey to get more shortcuts, e.g. CapsLock+F1 may bring up something less common like Authy.
Tab/Window hunting via CtrlTab/AltShiftA is... not great. A goal of mine is to never AltTab.

It is very weird seeing edges in the real world that I know are 90 degree joins show up as curved in my peripheral vision while using pass through.

#40Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this just a fake "demo" crafted with Premier Pro type scene stabilization? Just an "artist" with a rendition of what this could be like?
